Is there a way (procmail???) to change the date to the arriving time and
make the original line as an X line?
I would do that general for all emails.

It is much easier to tell your mail client to sort by order received,
rather than edit emails.

This isn't a behavior I've seen - which lists do this (OT)

I note (or rather my customers did when one of our servers suffered
severe narcolepsy) MSOutlook disregards the Date: field, it instead
parses the Received: header to get a date

Probably. But I'd ask a procmail mailing list how to do that, not a qmail
one.
